I think it’s fair to say that the new year is starting with a bang with a local derby against AFC Totton who are riding high, Louis and Adam are doing a good job over there at Totton, to be fair it’s a club that’s got the facilities for higher leagues and they are pushing for promotion, I have to also give a mention to Wayne Mew who I have a lot of time for who also seems to have done a good job with their off-field activities. Having said all of that and despite it being one of the friendlier derbies I have encountered there will be no love lost when hostilities start on the pitch, we will be gunning for them and looking to get the 3 points that would take us above them again in the league, I think we are set for an exciting game, a good performance is what we are looking for, if we do that we will get the result we want. Boxing Day... well what a way to ruin a Christmas that was, we went into it off the back of 4 wins in a row, there was concern over the pitch and we were desperate for the game to be on, as it happened the pitch was not really playable by the end of the game and it far from suited our players who could barely stand up let alone use our pace on the attack and that stifled us badly, don’t get me wrong Wimborne are a good side and deserved their win but it could have been a very different afternoon if we had got the first goal. In the first half we dominated the game and created plenty but no goal came, just after half time they scored and we had a few chances but still no goal came (first time since September we have failed to score) they got a 2nd and it was tough after that in the driving rain and puddled pitch, we ended up 3-0 losers in the end, we spoke about what went wrong and have now put it to bed and we are ready to bounce back hopefully today. For all of our supporters, I am sorry we couldn’t produce the display that we needed to give us all a good last Christmas present, it’s the old adage though that I preach to the lads, forget results and get the performances right and the result will take care of itself, in that 2nd half that was so true! Let’s hope we can put that right today. Player news, we are still without Danny King but we have everyone else available for today and we look forward to the game, it will be a decent crowd and we will need our support at their most vocal for this one, let’s hope we can give you all plenty to shout about. Up the citizens! Davo “THE CITIZENS POST” CHAIRMAN’S COMMENTS I hope that you all had a wonderful New Year’s Eve last Night and that you are now ready for this exciting local derby between the Citizens and our old friends the Stags. We welcome their Chairman Wayne Mew and his wife Caroline here to the Simplyhealth City Ground along with his officials, management team, players and fans. A warm welcome to you all! We are expecting a close game that befits this close encounter. We sit next to AFC Totton in the league table on the same number of points but with Totton having played one game less than Winchester City. We are hoping for a good crowd as it is a Bank Holiday and so let’s have a great game and a great atmosphere! And best wishes for a healthy and successful New Year. Kind Regards Paul Murray Chairman Winchester City Football Club FROM EVERYBODY AT WINCHESTER CITY FOOTBALL CLUB: “THE CITIZENS POST” IN THE OPPOSITION DUGOUT… AFC TOTTON CLUB HISTORY Totton Football Club was formed in 1886 and became one of the founder members of the Hampshire F.A. when it was inaugurated, and was also one of the founder members of the New Forest League, formed in 1904. After the 1914/18 War they entered the Southampton Senior League and the New Forest League, and in 1920/21 joined the Hampshire League West. The early matches were played at South Testwood Park before Totton moved to Testwood Park, on 30th December 1933. In 1975 they amalgamated with Totton Athletic, installed floodlights and opened a Club Room and Bar at the ground. Totton’s most successful season was in 1981/82 when they won Hampshire League Division 1 for the first time, the Russell Côtes Cup, Hampshire Intermediate Cup, Southampton Senior Cup and Reg Mathieson Trophy and in 1983 reached the 5th round of the FA Vase losing 1-0 away to the cup holders Forest Green Rovers. Totton became one of the founder members of the Wessex League when it was formed in the 1986/87 season, finishing third. The Medisport Wessex League Cup was won in 1989/90 and the Club was runner-up to Southern League Bashley in the Russell Cotes Cup in 1990/91. The Carlsberg FA Vase provided the Club with a good run in 2001, reaching the 4th Round. Season 2002/03 saw the Club enjoy a good FA Cup run before losing to Slough Town in a 1st Qualifying Round replay. The Club did gain some silverware though, beating League Champions Eastleigh 2-1 in the final of the Jewson Wessex Football League Cup. 2005/06 saw many changes in Team personnel and with Stuart Ritchie now at the helm, 4th place was gained in the League, together with a fine run in the FA Cup and the winning of the Wessex League Cup for a third time. 2006/07, proved to be the most memorable in the history of the Club. In the League, the first Team had a season-long battle with Gosport, missing out on the title by one goal - a bitter disappointment after having led the table from October until the last week of the season, but the highlight of the season was the Final of the FA Carlsberg Vase at the new Wembley Stadium for the first time in the Club’s history, Sadly, in front of a record 36,232 crowd for a Vase Final we had to settle for Runners-up spot after a thoroughly entertaining and skilful match against Truro City, losing 3-1. After the achievements of the previous season, 2007/2008 was always going to be a challenge. A good early run in the FA Cup set the team up nicely for the season, and that momentum extended into a great run in the League. In what became a battle with any of five teams in with a chance, the team responded brilliantly, ultimately producing 27 points from 30 in March & April to seal our first ever Wessex League Championship, and promotion to the BGB Southern League. Certainly the past two seasons will linger long in the memories of those lucky enough to be part of the adventure, and a glowing tribute to a dedicated team and fantastic supporters. An exciting new adventure was about to begin! 2008/09 saw AFC Totton reach new heights after being promoted to the Southern League South and West Division One. After a table topping start to the season we eventually finished 3rd in the league and after beating Beaconsfield SYCOB in the play off semi-final we ended up with a home tie for the final against Didcot Town.

Today we G welcome our guests from GOSPORT BOROUGH FC to our home, and we hope they enjoy their short visit, and have a safe journey home to Hampshire’s south coast later tonight. My thanks go especially to Rachel Stone for providing details for this programme. Our visit to Gosport almost eight months ago produced a 2-1 defeat, but was a game that I think many of us felt we might have got some kind of result. A lot of water has passed under Staines Bridge since then, and ‘results’ have been few and far between, meaning that we’ve long since been relegated, but our visi- tors still have everything to play for as they try to preserve their Premier Division status. Just five years ago, Boro were looking forward to a trip to Wembley to contest the FA Trophy final, but a couple of years after they saw them beset by financial worries, which was to see them lose their place in the Conference South.

In 1953, the club moved to its pre- sent ground in Green Lane, known as 'The Memorial Ground'. A pavilion was erect- ed and the team played in the Basingstoke League and, later, in the Aldershot League. In 1973, Glynn Howell was appointed Manager. In his six year reign, the team won the Aldershot Senior League three times in succession, and the Aldershot Senior Cup. After several seasons in the Aldershot Senior League, Hartley were admitted to the Combined Counties League, which replaced the Surrey Senior League. After the first couple of seasons and two changes of management, the club appointed Ian Bedford as Manager. Once again an influx of senior players brought Hartley success. Within his three years in management, they gained trophies including the League Title (1982-1983) and Runners Up (1981-1982), Aldershot Senior Cup Winners (1980- 1981), and George Allen Cup Winners (1981-1982). They were also Runners Up in the League Cup (1982-1983) and Aldershot Senior Cup (1981-1982). During this period a new Clubhouse was opened. David Willoughby, the then Secre- tary/Treasurer, and Bill Mitchell, the then club Chairman and now President, devot- ed exceptional hours in the embryo stages of this venture.
